Luckily, the Japanese soundtrack is included so you can hear it as it was originally presented with real voice actors. They just sat in a booth, emotionless, and read some lines off a script. Truth be told they were not really voice actors in the US release either. Gillian Anderson and Billy Bob Thornton were not voice actors in the original release. (A personal favorite :D) 36 people found this helpful Hands down one of the best anime films created by Hayao Miyazaki. A must watch for both anime fans and the average movie audience. The characters are interesting and driven which makes for an exciting story. Just something I felt needed to be said.īottom line "Princess Mononoke" is a gorgeous, depth filled, spectacle. This isn't a problem with the collector's edition but more so the PlayStation 4. So if that's your main media source then you're out of luck.
I can gladly say that the dub version is up to standards. As someone who prefers watching anime in Japanese rather than the dub.
Includes a 40 page art book with behind the scenes/extras and special features for fans.All the while still battling the curse within himself. Not wanting blood to be shed, Ashitaka takes it upon himself to search for a path in where both leaders can coexist. One fights for her people, while the other fights for the forest and it's inhabitants. Two different ideologies clashing for control. During his travels, however, he stumbles upon a long standing fued between Lady Eboshi of Iron Town and Princess Mononoke of The Forest. In search for a cure, Ashitaka sets out on a journey, hoping to find any answers he can. Summary: "Princess Mononoke" focuses on Ashitaka, a young warrior who is exiled from his village because of a deadly curse. If, after observing all these features and idiosyncrasies, you still wholeheartedly hate the film, then by all means give it a one.Distributor Shout! Factory and GKIDS have partnered together to release a very special limited collector's edition of "Princess Mononoke" on Blu-ray. All I have to say to them is this: look at a both the visual and symbolic attributes of a movie before rating it harshly. I do not harbor any negative feelings towards those who rated this movie poorly, as I used to be one of those people. By the end, I realized that this movie carried a powerful moral with it: man's continuous tampering with nature brings about as much savagery as it does progress, as much suffering as it does good, and that a sound compromise must be struck between nature and civilization. By the last half hour I was hooked to the screen, eagerly awaiting the conclusion I wanted so badly to end the bitter conflict of the plot. In fact, I even began to enjoy the accomplished yet subtle computer generated effects interspersed throughout. I no longer disliked that every character had abnormally large eyes (though not over-sized to the point of utter absurdity) or that the English overdubbing was a little choppy. After Ashitaka leaves his village to search for a treatment to remedy his affliction, I no longer cared that this was an animated feature I was on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. After about ten minutes of dwelling on the follies (and there are, in my opinion, many) of the "anime" style of art, I became enthralled with the quickly unfolding plot and the subsequently dire fate bestowed upon Ashitaka, the protagonist of the film. Upon watching Princess Mononoke, I must say I first thought it would be very difficult to look past the animation style and see it for what it was- a dynamic film directed be the highly acclaimed Hayao Miyazaki. Instead of focusing on one or two aspects of the movie I do not like and formulating a biased opinion based on my hasty and clouded notions, I can now decipher both the good and bad points of a given flick. Recently, however, I have forced myself, with great difficulty, to open my mind and look at the entire picture. A few years ago I would have tossed this film into a collection of movies I like to call the rubbish pile.
